Flyers Win the 'Shootout at Stampede Corral': February 27, 1982

One of the wildest games in Philadelphia Flyers regular season history took place on February 27, 1982, when the team traveled to Calgary, Alberta to take on the Flames in what became known as the "Shootout at Stampede Corral," the Flames home arena at the time.

The Flyers opened the game with a 3-0 first-period lead on goals by Brian Propp (twice) and Tim Kerr. Calgary responded by scoring the next three goals of the contest. The first period ended in a 4-4 tie.

The second period saw six goals scored with each team posting three goals.

A 7-7 third-period tie was broken by Flames sniper Kent Nilsson scoring his fourth goal of the game, giving the Flames an 8-7 lead. Eighteen seconds later, Flyers forward Tom "T.J." Gorence scored to tie the game at 8-8.

Finally, Flyers defensive defenseman and former Flames captain, Brad Marsh, scored his first goal of the season at 14:49 of the third period to give the Flyers the 9-8 lead which they would hold on to for the victory. Earlier in the season, the Flyers had acquired Marsh from the Flames in a one-for-one exchange for Philadelphia's then-captain Mel Bridgman.

The combined 17 goals scored in the game set a new Flyers record for most goals in a game. On October 27, 2011, the Flyers and Winnipeg Jets would combine for 17 goals in a 9-8 home loss for Philadelphia.
